Now, while Phoebus parches the earth, let us put by our implements and indulge ourselves with rest." There was a valley thick enclosed with cypresses and pines, sacred to the huntress queen, Diana.
There was a wheel, too. . . . I had no intention but you know yourself how it parches your throat the jollying and laughing and excitement. . . . I forgot all about what you what we talked over. . . . I'm ashamed and sorry; but I can stay here and attend to things, of course " "I don't want Neergard to see you," repeated Selwyn. "W-why," stammered the boy, "do I look as rocky as that?" "Yes.
In the violent heats of July and August, when the sun burns up the herbage, when the wind as it passes parches the skin, and the sultry air scarcely allows the lungs to play when the earth is quite dried up the hot-blooded animals, whose circulation is rapid, remain completely overpowered with the heat in their retreats all day, either stretched panting on the leaves, or lurking in the shade of some rock; but the moment the sun, in amber clouds, sinks below the horizon, and twilight brings in his train the dark hours of night, and its humid vapours, the beasts of the forest are again in movement, again their ravenous appetite returns, and they lose no time in ranging the woods, seeking how and where they may gratify it.

In many hymns of the Rig-Veda the story is told over and over, like a musical theme arranged with variations.
The book is instructive in the highest degree, but instead of animating and stirring, it parches, corrodes, and saddens its reader. It excites no feeling whatever; it is simply a means of information.
Owing to the depth beneath the soil at which it is found, it is generally deliciously cool and refreshing.

This plant is an herbaceous creeper, and deposits under ground a number of tubers, some as large as a man's head, at spots in a circle a yard or more, horizontally, from the stem.
In France, the revolution covered the country with ruins, tears, and blood, because means were not to be found to moderate in the people that revolutionary spirit which parches, in the bud, the promised fruits of liberty, when its violence is not repressed. Few persons were capable of keeping pace with the rapid progress of the revolution.
They said to themselves that doubtless they also would be transported, or brought before the Councils of War, and that they had plenty of time before them. They were thirsty. Many of them had been fighting since that morning, and nothing parches tire mouth so much as biting cartridges. They asked for drink. Three pitchers of water were brought to them. A sort of security suddenly fell upon them.
